Answer
Whether or not we retrofit our fleet, the energy sector is changing. But doing it in a sustainable way shows greater certainty—a study from Clean Energy Canada demonstrated that job growth from clean energy will substantially outpace that from fossil fuels over the next decade[1].
We can create a bridge to a more sustainable industry of the future by leveraging the size of our assets and industry.
We have a unique opportunity to create a need for more good, green manufacturing jobs, creating a demand.
Skilled workers who have suffered from a shifting energy market can transition to manufacturing and engineering to support green energy work, knowing that the size of our physical footprint and fleet will create a long-term, sustainable industry.
